Leuchter, Rudolf and the Iron Blues
Notes

Version 6.0.

Germar
Rudolf, The Rudolf Report,
Ruediger Kammerer - Armin Solms (Hg), Das Rudolf-Gutachten, Gutachten ueber
die Bildung nach Nachweisbarkeit von Canidverbindungen in den "Gaskammern"
von Auschwitz, Cromwell Press, London 1993. This report is banned in
Germany and therefore somewhat difficult to find. I am grateful to Margret
Chatwin for obtaining and Gord McFee for translating the original German
version of section 2.5 and note 16. Ulrich Roessler has helped with
translating other portions some of which are mentioned below.

A massively abridged English translation has appeared as
The Rudolf Report, London: Cromwell, 1993.

A woefully incomplete document that claims to be a translation of the
Rudolf Report - minus the footnotes - appears at
http://www.codoh.com/rudolf/rudreport/rudreport.html.
The link to a German version, on the
Zundelsite,
appears to be incorrect.
Inquiries to CODOH regarding whether this document is actually Rudolf's
work and whether a complete translation is planned have gone unanswered.

Leuchter Fred A., THE LEUCHTER REPORT
The End of a Myth: A Report on the Alleged Execution Gas Chambers at
Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, Poland by an Execution Equipment Expert,
Samisdat, 1988. Also available at:

Normally the concrete floors in the gas chamber as well as in the
changing room were damp: today they were carefully dried....

According to Nyszili, re Krema II
(Nyszili, Auschwitz, p. 52):

The Sonderkommando squad, outfitted with large rubber boots, lined up
around the hill of bodies and flooded it with powerful jets of water.
This was necessary because the final act of those who die by drowning
or by gas is an involuntary defecation....

Once the gas chamber had been cleared, it must be hosed free of all
traces of blood and excrement - but mainly blood - and then it must be
whitewashed with a quickdrying paint. This step is crucial, and it is
done each time the gas chamber is emptied, for the dying have scratched
and gouged the walls in their death throes. The walls are embedded with
blood and bits of flesh, and none on the next transport must suspect
that he is walking into anything other than a shower. This takes two or
three hours.
